Day likely has to beat Tennessee, Oregon, Texas, and Georgia or ND to avoid getting fired. Could be interesting for us from a transfer portal perspective and would also mean playing a year 1 coach at Ohio St to start the year next year. 

 

 

better chance he decides to leave than him being fired imo, and I don't see him leaving.

Unless he wins the championship, I'd be shocked if he's back. 

If not day, then who?

 

im sure her safe… for now 

Urban Meyer is tan ready and rested.

Jim Tressel could be his OC.

I don’t think you’re reading that right. If Day loses a consecutive home game in round one, the chance of him getting fired is over 50%

Lane Kiffin maybe? Idk, dude will be fired on the spot next year if he stays this year and loses to Michigan next year, that’s for sure.

If he loses round 1, at home, he’s 100% gone. 
 

It’s just a matter of who they get to replace him, but losing to Michigan this year of all years has taken the rest of his goodwill away. 

Ohio St is livid with him right now. I'd be surprised if the wheels don't fall off vs Tennessee based on what we saw vs Michigan.

Depends on his buyout.  How much is the university willing to pay him to go away if it gets that bad?

tOSU has the money when it comes to football.

In the day and age of fully guaranteed contracts you'd be an idiot to leave on your own accord and not make them fire you and collect the buyout. In this instance that buyout is 37 million dollars

Idk $37 milli is a lot

tOSU will always find money for football just like Texas. Other schools have Billionaires BMD

💯... If he loses to Tennessee and gets canned, do we get some transfers? Pettitjohn, Sanchez, etc...

They can request release of their scholarships because the coach was fired.

Day stays for another year no matter what imo.

I understand the logistics. Curious if they would be interested. 

Honestly don't think Day is a bad HC, but he hasn't done a great job building Ohio State since Meyer left. He's kind of just keeping it steady (kind of). I'm sure Hartline would be next in line if Day walked away, he would be a great replacement, imo.

College game isn't what it once was. He wouldn't do as well these days, as he did in years past, imo. It's why Saban bowed out when he did. 

He started on 3rd base. If one understands that you know he sucks 

I can't believe any fanbase is so insane that it will require a coach who never lost more than 2 games and never finished outside the top ten to win four playoff games to keep his job.

Losing to Michigan four years in a row is fireable for Ohio State.  Michigan would say that their season is salvaged with a bad record if they beat Ohio State.  Some don’t understand what this rivalry is in the Midwest, and I live in the Midwest with people who are fans of both sides.

Yeah, whatever.  Did Mack Brown get canned for losing to OU 5 straight years?  Did Cooper get fired for his 0-5-1 stretch?  No, he got fired a few years later, after tOSU managed a 14-10 record and finished unranked over two seasons.

Day might not have the fanbase on his side, but it is ridiculous to say he has to win the natty or he's gone.

You’re not getting this rivalry.  There are no other games for either Michigan or Ohio State that matter more than the game against each other.

Michigan couldn’t care less about Michigan State and Ohio State doesn’t really care about Penn State.  These are the eternal rivals.
